HISTORY
The history of the Australian beer begins very early in Australia by colonial history. Captain Cook beer with him on his ship Endeavour as a means to preserve drinking water. On August 1, 1768 that Captain Cook was the refurbishment of the Endeavour on his journey, Nathaniel Hulme wrote to Joseph Banks to recommend that it will take --
"a quantity of molasses and turpentine to brew beer for your drink everyday, when your water is bad.… [B] rewing beer sea will be particularly useful in cases where you should have stinking water on board, because I find from experience that the stench of water will be completely destroyed by the fermentation process. "
-- Letter to Joseph Banks 1768
The beer is always consumed on board 2 years later, in 1770, when Cook was the first European to discover the east coast of Australia.
Although beer is now the most popular alcoholic drinks in Australia, this was not always the case. The drink of choice for early settlers and convicted east rum --
Cut yer base name through me
Stretch me through the skin of the drum yer
Iron me on the island of Pinchgut
From now on Kingdom Come.
I'll eat yer Norfolk Dumpling
As a Spanish juicy plum,
Even dance Newgate Hornpipe
If ye'll only gimme Rum!
Sentenced traditional song.
The rum is so popular, and the official currency in such a short supply, for a time it became a semi-official currency (see Rum body) and even led to a short-lived military coup, rebellion Rum in 1808.
Drunkenness is a huge problem in the early colony.
"Drunkenness is a vice prevails. Even children should be seen in the streets drunk. On Sunday, men and women could be seen standing around the house-public doors, pending the end of the duration of public worship, to continue their carousing. Regarding the status of the prison population, which in fact is indescribable. Notwithstanding the penalties for breaking grog sale cunning, it was conducted wide-ranging measure. Men and women were found drunk together, and a bottle of brandy was seen as cheap bought for 20 lashes ... All that the vile and most bestial of man could invent creatures and practise in this unfortunate country has devised and put into practice without restraint and without shame "
-- Marcus Clarke - for the duration of his natural life, 1867
As a way to reduce drunkenness, beer was promoted as a safer and healthier alternative to rum.
"The introduction of beer in general among people undoubtedly reduce the consumption of spirituous liquors. I therefore in line with your suggestion taken steps to recover the colony with a supply of ten tons Porter, six sacks hops, and two complete sets of equipment brewery. "
-- Lord Hobart in a letter to Governor Philip King, August 29, 1802
The first (official) brewer in Australia was John Boston who drink brewed corn Indian bittered cape gooseberry leaves. It is likely that if the beer was brewed by unofficially much earlier. The first pub, Mason weapons has been opened in 1796 in Parramatta by James Larra released a convict.
It is interesting to note here that although the Australian beer is now mainly lager at the beginning of the Australian beer was exclusively Ale. Lager was not brewed in Australia until 1885. Launch of beers are also without the benefit of hops that nobody had successfully cultivated in Australia and import has been difficult. James Squire was the first to cultivate hops successfully in 1804. The Government Gazette of 1806 says he received a cow herd government for its efforts. Squire has also opened a pub and beer brewed if an epitaph on a tombstone in the cemetery Parramatta casts doubt on the quality of the product --

In September 1804 a government brewery opened its doors in Parramatta followed by a private competitor brewery 3 months later. The government brewery was sold 2 years later to Thomas Rushton who was his chief brewer. The brewery Parramatta remains the only government-term brewery never operated in Australia. Brasserie rapidly expanded in all Australian colonies. In 1871, there were 126 breweries in Victoria alone, which at that time had a population of only 800000.
Some events of this period include --
* 1824 - Peter DeGraves begins Cascade brewery in Tasmania. The brewery is still active and Australia is the oldest surviving brewery.
* 1835 - Dent brewery is based in Sydney
* 1836 - John Warren South Australia begins the first brewery
* 1837 - James Stokes Western Australia establishes the first brewery. It later became EMU brewery.
* 1838 - Mr. Moss established the first brewery in Melbourne.
* 1862 - Thomas Cooper establishes Coopers Brewery. The brewery is still operated by the Cooper family and Australia is the largest independent brewery.
* 1864 - Carlton brewery opens in Melbourne
* 1885 - Gambrinus brewery in Melbourne is the first brewery in Australia for brewing Lager.
* 1887 - The brothers encourages arriving from New York with refrigeration equipment and establish the first brewery to use Lager refrigeration in Australia.
* 1889 - Lager was first brewed in Queensland and the Castlemaine Quinlan brewery.
In 1900, the number of breweries began to decline as a result of the recession years of 1890. In 1901, just after the Federation, the new federal government has adopted beer and excise act. This law regulates the manufacture and sale of beer and made homebrewing illegal. The provisions of this Act, considered by many as draconian, lead to the closure of many breweries. 16 Sydney 21 breweries, is closed immediately after the introduction of acts or shortly thereafter. Other breweries have begun a process of consolidation with larger breweries purchase smaller. In a short period of time, there were only 2 other breweries in Sydney - Tooths and Tooheys. At Melbourne, 5 breweries have merged in 1907 to form the giant Carlton and United Breweries.
This process continues today with only two companies - Lion Nathan and Foster's Group owns every major brewery in Australia, with the exception of Coopers which is still family Boag has recently been sold to Lion Nathan, who previously belonged San Miguel.
